Workflow technology is being increasingly applied in research and development information to organise and analyse data. Pipeline Pilot is a scientifically intelligent implementation of a workflow technology known as data pipelining. It allows scientists to construct and execute workflows using components that encapsulate many algorithms. This flexible visual programming language captures and deploys your best-practice processes.
- Data Integration
- Search, summarise & share your data aggregated from multiple disparate sources, Databases or Files, using In-House format checking rules
- Join together applications within a variety of areas, such as chemistry, cheminformatics, bioinformatics, on-line content integration, image analysis, high throughput screening, and laboratory data management
- Features related to security, scalability, database integration, and distributed computing make it an ideal solution for enterprise use
- Application Integration - Model Building & Simulation
- Pipeline Pilot allows you to integrate your existing computational resources within a single work environment: NONMEM, WinBUGS, Monolix, Xpose, WinNonLin, PsN, simCYP, MC Sim, etc.
- Use standard scripting environments for rapid development of new components: R, MATLAB, SAS, Perl, Java, Python, VBScript, ORACLE, etc.
- Automate workflows to schedule jobs, then log & archive associated data and reports
- Reporting - Exploratory Analysis, Diagnostics & Decision Tool
- Automate the creation of standardised reports in various formats: HTML, PDF, PowerPoint, Word, Excel, etc.
- Present analysis results in a more accessible way, using interactive charts and forms with easy-to-use reporting tools or by integrating third party applications reporting tools
- Extend Pipeline Pilot protocols throughout your organisation via Web Portals like SharePoint or LifeRay, giving non-expert users access to previously constructed workflows
